Truth is what we are looking for We know not what the future holds Our judgement will be deserved Based on how we have lived We make mistakes; ask for forgiveness Then foolishly revert to our weaknesses We listen to talking heads The media has many opinions Also, their judgements pour out Leaving us uncertain and alone They take what is real and add Their flourishing as though experts Adding adjectives and then criticism It is true we lack good leadership Changing what is working well Forgetting precepts of our founders Coloring and reshaping the truth This is manifested in evil works Cities burn and life is lost Warfare exists regardless of intent Children and adults flee looking for Safety, water, shelter and food Dictators give orders prompted by henchmen Observe the destruction and look away Call for truce while preparing for The next round of on slot Media experts are left wondering There is only one truth This truth is from the ONE The one who gave his life for us Some are willing to abide They know and help the wretched Open their doors and hearts Will watch in the future as chaff Is being burnt while the grain is secured Stanski March 31, 2022 ^
